About the Vacheron Constantin Historiques Collection
Vacheron Constantin, one of the world's oldest continuously operating watch manufactures, launched the Historiques line to celebrate pivotal design moments from its own heritage. The Triple Calendrier 1942 brings back the full-calendar complication of the wartime era in a 40mm steel case with ivory and Arabic dial options, reference 3110V. The Cornes De Vache 1955 takes its name from the distinctive cow-horn lug profile that defined mid-century sports watches, offered at 38.5mm in steel and pink rose gold under reference 5000H. The American 1921 is perhaps the most architecturally daring of the three, preserving the tilted dial and off-center chapter ring of the original in both a large 40x40mm and a refined 36.5mm case across white gold and pink rose gold under references 82035 and 1100S.
What to Look For
Buyers choosing within the Historiques collection should weigh case material and size carefully, as white gold commands a premium over steel while the square American 1921 format in the 40x40mm references reads more boldly on the wrist than the round 36.5mm variant. The Cornes De Vache 1955 is distinguished by its signature lug architecture and is currently available new in both steel and rose gold, making it an accessible entry into the line, while the Triple Calendrier 1942 appeals to complication collectors who want a full calendar in a vintage-inspired dress package.
Frequently Asked Questions
What models are included in the Vacheron Constantin Historiques collection?
The Historiques line currently includes three distinct models: the Triple Calendrier 1942, the Cornes De Vache 1955, and the American 1921. Each model is inspired by an archival Vacheron Constantin design and is available in multiple case materials, sizes, and reference numbers.
Is the Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 available in both new and pre-owned condition?
Yes, Bizak and Co. carries the American 1921 in white gold reference 82035/000G-B735 in both brand new and pre-owned examples, giving buyers flexibility on price and condition. The smaller 36.5mm references in white gold and pink rose gold are also available new.
What is the difference between the two Triple Calendrier 1942 references, 3110V/000A-B426 and 3110V/000A-B425?
Both references share the same 40mm stainless steel case and ivory dial family, with the distinction lying in dial execution — one features an ivory dial and the other an ivory Arabic numeral dial. Buyers who prefer a more legible, vintage-inflected look typically gravitate toward the Arabic numeral version.
